Miley was handed a loss in Tuesday's game against the Rays as he allowed three earned runs over three innings.

Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reported that Miley was feeling somewhat sick, but was feeling well enough to pitch. Even if he'd been feeling at his best, seeing Miley put on a subpar showing wouldn't come as much of a surprise. During the 2016 season he threw for a 5.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, marking the third consecutive season that he posted marks above 4.30 and 1.35, respectively.

Rodon may throw another simulated game before pitching in a Cactus League game, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It had previously been reported that Rodon's next round of live pitching would take place in a spring game, but the club is now debating whether or not they'll have him throw one more workout before taking the next step. While the White Sox are being cautious, it doesn't appear that they're concerned with his health, as the club's pitching coach said that Rodon's form was good and that his pitches were behaving well.

Manager Bob Melvin raved about how Bassitt (elbow) looked in a 30-pitch bullpen session, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bassitt has been throwing off a mound since mid-February, and he appears to be progressing well in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The 28-year-old is continuing to ramp up his workload and could be scheduled to pitch live BP in the near future if all proceeds as planned.

Rodon threw 64 pitches during a simulated game Tuesday morning, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rodon threw all of his pitches and got up and down four times against minor leaguers in the organization. Van Schouwen also reported Rodon's next live action will be in a Cactus League game.

Quintana, whose Team Colombia was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic, has returned to the White Sox training camp, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

White Sox manager Rick Renteria told Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune that he expects Quintana to be on a normal routine but the pitcher and pitching coach Don Cooper will work out a plan to get him ready for the regular season. The left-hander is expected to start the season as Chicago's No. 1 starter.

Carrasco will be evaluated Tuesday to be sure everything is OK with his health, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Pitching coach Mickey Callaway said Carrasco's fastball was "really flat" during his Cactus League outing Monday. Carrasco was clobbered for eight runs on eight hits in just 1.2 innings during Monday's game. He did tell the Associated Press afterward that he feels "fine," but it seems the Indians want to be absolutely sure before putting Carrasco back on the mound.

Gausman tossed three innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out three in Monday's exhibition game against the Phillies.

Gausman tested out his full arsenal while throwing a spring-high 65 pitches. "It seemed like I went to a full count with just about everyone today," Gausman said. The right-hander added that he wasn't enthused with his overall performance, "Any time you throw that many pitches in three innings, you're not going to be happy." Gausman has started three preseason games -- including a WBC warmup contest against the Dominican Republic -- and has posted solid marks overall. Through eight total innings, the 26-year-old has surrendered two earned runs on four hits and two walks while tallying six punchouts. With Chris Tillman (shoulder) on the mend, Gausman is in line to make his first career Opening Day start April 3 at home against the Blue Jays.

Blackburn was assigned to minor-league camp Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Blackburn earned a promotion to the 40-man roster in November and impressed manager Bob Melvin with his arsenal, but a five-run outing in Cactus League play Friday essentially killed any chance he had at claiming an Opening Day spot. The 23-year-old could resurface with the big club as a spot starter or long man out of the bullpen later in the season, but it looks like he'll begin his 2017 campaign in a rotation role at either the Double-A or Triple-A level.

Kopech allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Kopech did what coaches wanted of him -- command his fastball and secondary offerings and incorporate his changeup. He didn't throw many changeups, but the ones he did were located where he wanted them. It's unknown whether he'll get another start in major league camp, but the young right-hander has something to build on as he prepares for his likely assignment to Double-A Birmingham this season.

Bundy was crushed over two innings, allowing five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one against the Twins on Sunday.

Bundy had looked strong through his first two spring starts but fell flat Sunday against a Twins lineup that was laced with MLB starters. The former top prospect has been working on incorporating a cutter this spring yet hasn't quite acquired the feel for it yet. After the game, Bundy said he was simply "catching too much of the plate" and was unable to locate the pitch how he'd like to. On a brighter note, the right-hander was encouraged about throwing more sliders and feeling good with those deliveries.
